Anyway by David Martin - song, music video, back story
An elegant love song with a hip reggae bridge

If I ask you for a dance,
Would you say okay and take my hand?
And dance the night away...

I was thinking maybe later on
I would ask to walk you home...
Would you smile at me and say
Okay...?

Because I'd like to get to know you
And think of you as a friend.
Hey hey...
I'd like to get to know you.

...Feelin'better know

After I drop you off at home,
Wonder if I could call you on the phone
And talk until the day...

Then I know that you would see
You could be with a boy like me.
The way it's got to be
This day
Any way...

Say hey...
I'd like to get to know you
and think of you as my friend.

If I'd have never asked you for that dance,
You'd have never reached and took my hand.
We would never be in this romance.
Any way
Any way...

You'd have never let me walk you home
And our love could not have grown.
Now we never have to be alone
Since that day
Any Way...

Say hey...
I'd like to get to know you
and think of you as my friend.
Say hey...
I'd like to get to know you.

...Feeling funky now

Come now baby it's time to discover
Rasta man was meant to be the lover.
I'm the one for you - the one to treat you right.
Never leave you lonely in the middle of the night.
Rock you good like a real man should.
Give you pretty lovin'- make it mmm mmm good.
He's the one that you should be in love with now.
One day you will marry and you'll have his child.

Me and My Music
What Drives Me…

What drives me...
I was born a poor boy
Grew up to be a poor man.
I guess it is my own fault
But it's not the way that I planned.

But as long as I can play my music
Each and every day
Just any old way I chose it
To chase the blues away.
Just chase those blues away.

They say practice makes you perfect
So I practice all the time.
And I wonder if it's worth it
But I'll never change my mind.

Just as long as I can play my music
Some day I'll get my chance.
Just any old way I choose it
To Make the people dance

I'm gonna make the people dance
Just get on up now
Make the people dance
Just get on up now

Make It With You
David's Take on a "Bread" Classic

What drives me...
I was born a poor boy
Grew up to be a poor man.
I guess it is my own fault
But it's not the way that I planned.

But as long as I can play my music
Each and every day
Just any old way I chose it
To chase the blues away.
Just chase those blues away.

They say practice makes you perfect
So I practice all the time.
And I wonder if it's worth it
But I'll never change my mind.

Just as long as I can play my music
Some day I'll get my chance.
Just any old way I choose it
To Make the people dance

I'm gonna make the people dance
Just get on up now
Make the people dance
Just get on up now

Drive Me Wild
A Classic Rock Ballad

Whenever I'm in your presence
Feels like heaven.
I can't get enough of your beauty.
Even though I've never touched your body
know that I love you.
So please don't turn away from me now.

I need you so badly.
Chills up my spine,
Girl you're blowin' my mind.
...You drive me wild...
Wishin' I could call you on the phone,
Should I be aggressive or leave you alone?
...You drive me wild...
Like a fire buring out of control,
Girl you rule my heart
And you Rule My Soul.
Ooh Baby, Ooh Baby,
You drive me wild.

Oooh, Baby I love you so much
wanna touch you like you've never been touched.
Sparks turn into flames.
Golden hair and eyes of blue,
Girl you make my dreams come true.
There are so many things
I just wanna do...

Repeat Chorus

In my fantasies our bodies come together
Keeping perfect rhythm with the sound of pleasure
That fills the air
...Screams of pleasure...
The pleasure of our lust
lasting for hours
...Screams of pleasure...
The thirst for one another
It still remains the same

Beside You
Upbeat Pop with a Reggae Tag

You know pretty lady
I will be always by your side.
And I won't get crazy
When you talk with other guys.
No I won't, girl.

See, we've been together
Such a long, long, long time.
And you're giving me a great, great,
Supernatural feelin'
Flowing like a river through my mind.
Yes you are, girl.

All I'm sayin' is...

I really love you
...To love you...
No one above you
...To love you...
Just want to love you
...To love you...
Kiss and to hug you
...To love you...
Spend my life through
Right here beside you.

I'm right here beside you,
Right here beside you.
I'm right here beside you,
Right here beside you.
I'm right here beside you,
Right here beside you.
I'm right here beside you.

And you know pretty lady
You will always be my girl.
And no one can take you place girl,
No, no, take your place in this whole world.
No they can't girl.

Repeat chorus

Right next to me is where you should be,
Moving to the music, smoking Cali weed.
From Chi town to jam down,
Know you are my queen.
You next to me is such a groovy scene.
I love the way you shake it the dancehall
Don't stop.
Love the way you move your sexy body
to the One drop.

And we can go to the disco
Never a problem 'cuz baby you know that I'm
Down for you, right from the start.
Whenever we're apart it breaks my heart.
One thing in life you know to be true,
That is, Boo, I'll never leave you.

You've got me hooked on your good love,
Sweet, sexy lady sent from up above.
One thing in life you know to be true,
That is, Boo, I'll never leave you.

Should I Keep On Holding On?
A Passionate Ballad

This thing between us
It's very sad but it's true.
You belong to another .
Now tell me what
I'm supposed to do.

You say be patient,
Wait a little longer,
Hold on tight.
Meanwhile I'm lonely
Every single day
And each and every night.

Should I keep holding on?
Should I let go?
If there is a chance for me
I think I need to know.

And if you don't love me
Then baby
Let me go

We go on pretending,
Both afraid to show just how we feel.
Will we ever be together?
Say, girl I gotta know.
Hey baby, what's the deal?

I wonder if you do love me
I wonder if it's real
Or just a bit of fun.


Whenever we're together
Your eye is on your clock,
You're always on the run.

I Hear You Knockin'
Old School Funk

You were my lady,
My closest friend.
Together we spent all our time.
Only you for me.
I needed you desperately.
No other woman on my mind, no, no.

I thought you were different
Much different from the rest
But you showed me your dark side
I know, I caught you with another guy.

Now you're out there knocking,
Wantin' to talk it out.
See you better spend less time knocking
And maybe more time walking cause

I hear you knocking
But you can't come in.
You're not my lady and you're
Not my kind of friend.
Burn me once but you will
Never, ever burn me again.

I know, pretty baby,
You want to try to make it up to me.
Now can't you see?
I put my trust in you.
My love was tried and true.
But you walked out with another.
Now you can't have me as your lover.

No Place To Go
Acoustic Elegance with a Sweet Groove

Sitting here
With the lights way down low.
I don't want to be here,
But I got no place to go.

I try not to cry
As the memories pass by
But I know there's
No getting over you...

I think it's time I find myself a brand new lover,
Somebody I can be proud of, yeah baby,
A special lady That really cares for me.
I close my eyes, girl and it's You that I see...
That I see...
You that I see...

My days are lonely
My nights are so damn cold.
This empty feeling
Just burning in my soul.

Life is one thing,
One thing after another.
Love is two fools
Chasing one another.

I think it's time I found myself a brand new lover,
Somebody I can be proud of, yeah baby,
A special lady
That really cares for me.
I close my eyes girl
And it's you that I see...
That I see...
You that I see...

Sitting here
with the lights way down low.
I don't want to be here,
But I got no place to go.

I try not to cry
As the memories pass by,
But I know there's
No getting over you...

Break the Chain
A Song About Family

Where are you, father?
Tell me what happened to you.
Mama said you left when I was just a little boy.
Just one day said that's it then up, we're through.

But now I'm standing here a grown, grown man.
I want to tell you that it's no, no thanks to you.
I do not blame you for the things you did to me.
You only did to me what your father did to you.

Break the chain, Father.
Break the chain and raise your family.
Break the chain, Sister.
Because the family is the way it's got to me.

Where are you, mother?
Tell me what happened to you.
You left me all alone, all alone in the foster home
Just one day said that's it and up, we're through.

But now I'm standing here a grown, grown man.
I want to tell you that it's no, no thanks to you.
I do not blame you for those things you did to me.
You only did to me what your mother did to you.

Break the chain.
Break the chain.
Break the chain.
Break the chain.

Hey Man
Conscious Roots

Gather 'round brothers and sisters,
I've got one thing on my mind
It's about the way that we
Live today in these troubled times.

City streets are a jungle today,
Not a safe place for no one to play.
Bars on windows, Triple locks on each door.
Fear is in control.

Hey Man!
Hey man!
You know, you know it's true.
We gotta change
The way
We're living our lives today.

Hey Man!
Hey Man!
You know, you know it's true.
We gotta change
The way
We're living our lives today.

Welfare mothers and the sky high crime.
Unemployment rate to blow your mind.
Blacks and whites still fuss and fight.
It really doesn't matter who's wrong or right.

Politicians gotta lower the taxes, yeah, yeah.
Give the power to the people back
So we can live our lives happy and free
Not in poverty and misery.
